we're working this into a BIND release and will have the official ISC
version of these diffs to the inet_*() functions within a day or so.
the inet_*() functions are meant to be transitive, and the existing IPv4
entry points all are, so we're changing these contributed IPv6 entry points
to also be transitive, then we'll ship them.
as soon as we have something we're happy with i'll drop you a copy.
